Kou Zhun said that Concubine Yang loved Zhao Zhen and would not do anything to hurt Zhao Zhen's heirs, but Kou Ji felt that it might not be.

Although Concubine Yang has no motive to hurt Zhao Zhen's heirs, she has the strength and scheming.

What's more, Zhang Guifei and Han Meiren were killed, and there was no trace from beginning to end, which is very in line with the characteristics and style of Concubine Yang's work described by Kou Zhun.

It is not excluded that someone is imitating Concubine Yang's methods to do things.

But the power in Concubine Yang's hands is not something that anyone can mobilize.

Concubine Yang used the power in her hand to defend against Liu E, Liu E was still helpless with her, who could cross her and mobilize the power in her hand?

You must know that after Liu E's death in the history books, Concubine Yang was still alive.

And in the history books, Liu E's peak period suppressed the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

is so powerful, she can't help Concubine Yang, which means that the power in Concubine Yang's hands can't be splashed by the water she operates.

Concubine Yang relied on the strength in her hands to hold some of Liu E's handles and restrain Liu E, so Liu E was helpless to take her.

It is impossible for a person without power to hold the handle of a person who holds great power.

Because people can crush you to death and then get their handle back.

On the other hand, with Concubine Yang's scheming and strength, if she doesn't nod, who in the harem can assassinate the prince and concubines?

Therefore, even if Concubine Yang is not the mastermind of this matter, she must be one of the accomplices.

Kou Ji was thinking about his own affairs, but he said to Kou Zhun: "Grandfather, my grandson knows that he is wrong, and he will not dare to speak falsely next time." ”

"Do you want to have a next time?"

"No...... No next ......"

"Humph!"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly, glared at Kou Ji and said, "You still doubt Concubine Yang?" ”

Kodge nodded frankly.

Kou Zhun said coldly: "I am the eldest Song Fengxiao, and Concubine Yang has the grace of nurturing the official family, and the nurturing grace is greater than the kindness of life." Before there is conclusive evidence, if you investigate Concubine Yang and spread it, not only will you be infamous, but the official family will also be infamous. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "It's about the inheritance of the position of the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't care about it." ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun and said solemnly: "If I retreat because of infamy, I am not qualified to be your grandson." ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, his face softened a little.

He's not the kind of person who backs down when things get tough.

Kou Ji's words were very much in line with his appetite, he stared at Kou Ji, and admonished: "It's not the key to being infamous, the key is that after you find out about this matter, you find that it has nothing to do with Concubine Yang, so where is the official family, you can't do it."

This is also the reason why the old man was angry when he learned that you told the official about it.

Although the official family favors you, you are not the official family's brother after all.

Concubine Yang is like a mother to the official family.

You framed Concubine Yang, and their mother and son were almost estranged, and the official family will inevitably have a pimple in their hearts. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun sighed with emotion: "This person, there can't be a pimple in his heart, once he has a pimple, he will change when he sees a person." You should have heard the story of the suspected neighbor stealing the axe.

Once the official family has a pimple in your heart, it will be wrong to see what you do.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for you to become an official.

You are now in charge of the world's military power with the officials, looking at the glory.

When the time comes, it is likely to be the source of killing. ”

Kou Zhun said something from the bottom of his heart, and Kou Ji listened to it very usefully and was also very moved.

He was eighty percent sure that Concubine Yang must have something to do with this matter, so after finding out about this matter, Zhao Zhen would not have a pimple with him, and he didn't need to worry.

What really makes Kou Ji feel useful is the way of being an official in Kou Zhun's words.

Kou Zhun took this opportunity to warn Kou Ji to put himself in the safest place when doing things, and then try to do anything else.

Kou Zhun didn't want him to risk his life.

Although what Kou Zhun said, Kou Zhun couldn't do it himself, but he hoped that Kou Ji would do it.

If you don't do unto others as you would have them do unto you, it is not suitable for use here.

Kou Zhun likes to risk his life, and that's because he has his own insistence in his heart.

Kou Zhun advised Kou Ji not to risk his life, because he had a trace of love for his juniors in his heart.

"Grandfather taught, grandchildren remember."

Although Kou Ji may not necessarily listen to Kou Zhun, he must accept Kou Zhun's heart.

"The old man has left the center, so don't bother the old man about the center's affairs in the future. Come and accompany the old man to look at the articles of the students who were admitted to my Wenchang School this year, and see how many talents there are. ”

Kou Zhun stiffly changed the subject.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather, you know, I don't know the scriptures......"

Kou Zhun pouted and said, "The old man has not taken the scriptures this year. Didn't you say it? If the scriptures are useless to the court, what is the point of learning them? The old man is taking the miscellaneous exam this year. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Grandfather, if you do this, you are not afraid that the scholars in Shilin will say that you are not?" Aren't you afraid of the opposition of the Confucians in the Wenchang Academy? ”

"Phew......"

Kou Zhun spat disdainfully, and scolded and said: "With the status of the old man, how many scholars in the Great Song Dynasty dare to say that the old man is not?" The old man's protégés are all over the court and the opposition, and your protégés are now gradually entering the court.

Scholars dare to say that the old man is not, unless they don't want a career anymore.

Besides, the old man is seventy years old, and it makes sense to do some foolish things.

Do they still want to reason with a septuagenarian?

Even if the old man spat on them, they could only wipe away the saliva and smirk at the old man.

As for the old horsemen in the school, they eat the old man's food and drink the old man's, and they also use the old man's place to make a name for themselves, why oppose the old man? ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You are a person with status, you have to be reasonable." ”

Kou Zhun glared, "Do you want the old man to reason with them?" Do they deserve it too? One by one, they dare to say that you don't learn and don't know how to do it, and the old man just doesn't clean them up. ”

Kou Ji finally understood why Kou Zhun would take the miscellaneous studies in the assessment of the Wenchang Academy this year, instead of the scriptures.

Dare to love is to defend him.

Previously, Kou Ji's lack of learning and unskilled things were widely spread, and Kou Ji didn't care much about it, but Kou Zhun remembered it.

And also a small counterattack.

Kou Zhun's love, Kou Ji felt it, he didn't say anything, and accompanied Kou Zhun to check the articles of those students.

Kou Ji accompanied Kou Zhun to check some students' articles, and when he arrived at the meal, he had some meals together and consulted the students' articles.

Halfway through it, I can't go on.

Because Kou Zhong led a person and appeared in Kou Zhun's house.

Kou Zhun and Kou Ji stood up and saluted.

"Minister's Quasi-......"

"Minister's ......"

"See the official ......"

“……”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Kou Zhun: "Kou Gong doesn't have to be polite, I have something important to discuss with the fourth brother, I went to the Kou Mansion Courtyard, but I didn't find the fourth brother, I heard that the fourth brother arrived at Kou Gong's residence, so I rushed over."

Where there is trouble, I hope Kou Gong will not be surprised. ”

Kou Zhun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Don't dare...... The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister...... The official family can go wherever they want, and no one can stop it, let alone bother anyone. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I have remembered Kou Gong's teachings. ”

Kou Zhun saluted again, turned back to Kou Ji and said, "Since the official family is looking for you, then the old man will avoid one or two." ”

After saying this, Kou Zhun left the house, called Kou Zhong, and went to inspect the Wenchang Academy.

Only Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were left in the house.

The smile on Zhao Zhen's face slowly faded, and he stared at Kou Ji and said resentfully: "I thought that the fourth brother would still hide from me." ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "As a minister, how dare he hide from the official." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Fourth brother is still complaining? ”

Kou Ji arched his hand, "The minister doesn't dare to ......"

Zhao Zhen sighed: "The fourth brother is estranged from me, and he said that he is not complaining about me. ”

Kou Ji said lightly: "The official family is the king, Kou Ji is the minister, and the monarch and the minister are ......."

"Fourth brother!"

Zhao Zhen shouted in a low voice, gritted his teeth and said: "When I was in the middle of my heart, I said nonsense and hurt the fourth brother, it was not right." But you should also be considerate and considerate of me, Concubine Yang is my adoptive mother, and I grew up in her palace since I was a child.

She has nurtured me, and I have always treated her like my own mother.

You told me that the murder of my two emperors was related to Concubine Yang, and my heart was instantly shattered into countless pieces, how could I not talk nonsense.

If it is the fourth brother, can the fourth brother face it calmly? ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, he was already in tears.

He said with tears in his eyes: "Everyone in the world thinks that being an emperor is the happiest thing in the world, but the world has no idea that the hardships of being an emperor are far beyond the imagination of the world.

My father died, leaving behind a huge country and giving me a child who still didn't know what was going on.

When I didn't understand anything, I carried the entire Great Song Dynasty.

My eldest lady, the person closest to me, after my father is gone, wants to set me up and make me a puppet emperor.

My Eighth Emperor Uncle felt that I was a naughty boy who was not worthy of sitting on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and wanted to enter the palace and rob me of the throne.

I watched the Eighth Emperor Uncle die, watched the Great Emperor Uncle go crazy, and watched the eldest lady being burned to death by the flames.

I still have to watch my emperor die a tragic death, and see the real murderer who killed my emperor go straight to my adoptive mother.

How much my heart hurts.

I can't cry, I can't cry, I can't have heartache, and I can't hide from anyone.

Because the Great Song Dynasty needs me, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will also force me out after I hide.

I am a person, not a clay sculpture in the temple.

But few people think of me as Chéng Rén.

They all wanted me to be a clay sculpture in the temple.

Few people cared about my thoughts.

They just want me to do what they want.

The only people who treat me as human and care about my thoughts are you and my biological mother.

But there are some things I can't say to my birth mother, I can only tell you.

If you leave me, I will really become a lonely person, and I will really become a clay sculpture in the temple. ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, he couldn't cry anymore.

Kou Ji also faintly had some tears in his eyes.

To be the emperor and do Zhao Zhen's part, in addition to using pitiful descriptions, there are no other adjectives.

Zhao Zhen sincerely treated Kou Ji as a brother, how could Kou Ji really leave him with a hard heart.

"I don't mean to leave the official family, I'm just angry that the official family easily handed over the treasure seal."

Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Everything we did was because of that treasure seal. Everything that happened in the palace was also because of that treasure seal. The more this is the case, the more we should guard the treasure seal and strangle all those ghosts and ghosts.

Only in this way can we be worthy of what we have done over the years.

We can't fall, and we can't cry.

No matter how difficult it is, we should move on firmly. ”

Zhao Zhen blushed, nodded heavily, and said, "I promised the fourth brother that I would not talk about Baoxi again in the future." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I already have some eyebrows about the two murders that happened in the palace, I will go back to the palace with you in a while, and I will start investigating this matter after returning to the palace."

However, it was difficult for me to investigate this matter in the palace alone, so I needed someone from the Takeshi Division to cooperate with me. ”

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I will instruct the people of Wu Desi to obey the dispatch of the fourth brother. ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "What if...... If Concubine Yang's head is really found, what does the official family plan to do? ”

Koji had to ask about it.

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes painfully and said in a low voice: "Reduced to a commoner and exiled for thousands of miles." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Spare her life?" ”

Zhao Zhen inhaled the cold air and said heartbrokenly: "She has the grace of nurturing me. If I kill her, what will the world think of me? ”

Kou Ji sighed and didn't say anything more.

No matter how powerful the people are, it is difficult to beat the world.

Some stories of foolishness and filial piety had a great impact on the ancients.

Even though the official law provides a distinction between filial piety and filial piety, the vast majority of the people still believe in filial piety, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

For the mother and the child, it is a good story that deserves to be praised and preached.

For the son and mother, it will be despised by the people.

If Concubine Yang really harmed the imperial heir, it would be her sin.

But if Zhao Zhen beheaded Concubine Yang because of this, it would be Zhao Zhen's sin.

Because of this, the people will portray Zhao Zhen as an unfilial person.

The Great Song Dynasty is filial piety, and Zhao Zhen is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, if he is not filial, his prestige among the people will be greatly weakened.

If Zhao Zhen wants to maintain the status quo and do nothing, then he will behead Concubine Yang.

No matter how much the people talk about it, it will not have much impact on him.

But Zhao Zhen then wanted to reform the literary system, and the most important thing was to gain the trust of the people.

If you bear a reputation for unfilial piety before you have won the trust of the people, then who will believe in you?

"Let's enter the palace......"

Kou Ji said lightly.

He already had a decision in his mind.

If Concubine Yang plotted to kill the emperor's heir, it was excusable, and he could let Concubine Yang go.

If Concubine Yang was one of the masterminds, he wouldn't mind beheading Concubine Yang.

Killing people is not a nod to the ground, and bullying people is not such a bully.

couldn't see Zhao Zhen's kindness, so he bullied Zhao Zhen to death, and let Zhao Zhen knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

As for the consequences after beheading Concubine Yang, Kou Ji didn't care at all.

It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to kill him, it is nothing more than to dismiss him in the public opinion of the government and the opposition.

But he still cares about dismissal?

If he really wants to dismiss the official, he will soon be able to get reinstated.

It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to hate him because he killed a mastermind who plotted to kill the emperor's heir.

It is impossible for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to hate him because he killed a person who broke off the unification of the society.

Even if there are some people who don't want to see Kou Ji recover, it won't do much to obstruct it.

Kou Zhun has been running for many years, and the relationship he has been running for many years is not in vain.

If he really wants to behead Concubine Yang, the only evil consequence he has to bear is that he can no longer be transferred from Wu to Wen and serve as the subordinate of Tongzhongshu.

After all, no one inside and outside the government and the opposition wants to see a person who beheaded the emperor's adoptive mother sit in the position of Pingzhangshi under the door of Tongzhongshu.

It is one thing for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty not to hold a grudge against him, and it is another thing to see him sitting in the position of Pingzhangshi under the door of Tongzhongshu.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen got out of the house and went down to the Wenchang Academy together.

Kou Zhun stood halfway up the mountain, watched Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji get down the Wenchang Academy side by side, and muttered in a low voice, "Zhao Heng...... You're not as good as your son......"

Kou Zhong tilted his head to the side, looking at the clear sky, pretending that he was counting the stars, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

Kou Zhun glanced back at Kou Zhong, who was looking up, and said disdainfully: "Can he still crawl out to find me...... Hmph......"

Kou Zhong rolled his eyes, not wanting to speak.

Kou Zhun went back more and more, sometimes he was wise and unspeakable, and sometimes he was arrogant like a grumpy child.

The old child, the old naughty boy, probably the current Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun's muttering, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji naturally couldn't hear it.

The two went down the mountain and rode into Bianjing City.

All the way across the Jinshui Bridge and into the palace.

Zhao Zhen put Kou Ji at the gate of the harem and said to Kou Ji: "Chong Shiheng doesn't know what to think, but at this time, please merge the Sanya and the Privy Council into one."

Lu Yijian and the three of them had a headache about this matter, and they had frequently sent people to ask me to come over and make a decision.

I'm going to keep an eye on this matter now, and the case of the harem will be handed over to the fourth brother.

The fourth brother just has to check with confidence, if there is a long-sighted obstruction, he will be killed. ”

Kou Ji didn't hear Zhao Zhen's last words.

The people in the palace, as long as they have a little eyesight, few people are uncomfortable in front of him.

Those who dare to find unease in front of him are all people he can't kill.

So Zhao Zhen's last sentence was pure nonsense.

If Concubine Li jumps out to stop her, can I still cut Concubine Li?

If you really want to cut down Concubine Li, you still have to go crazy?

Kou Ji slandered and said to Zhao Zhen: "Chong Shiheng chose to write at this time, he should think that the official family is now irritable and impulsive, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty dare not touch the brows of the official family at this time, so the matter of the Privy Council and the three yamen being combined into one will not be hindered too much." ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "He is not afraid that I will be angry and impulsive, and kill him?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "He believes in the wisdom of the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Did he surrender?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips and said, "No wonder he dares to touch my brow at this time......"

Kou Ji sighed: "He is also for the official family's country. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "He is really smart, and he knows that to surrender to you is to surrender to me." It's just that I don't like smart people very much. ”

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji worked together to implement the reform of the military system, and they also did many things together.

But in the Manchu Dynasty, no one thought that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were one in government affairs, so no one knew that surrendering to Kou Ji was surrendering to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen originally thought that no one would see this.

Unexpectedly, Chong Shiheng saw through this matter and decisively surrendered to Kou Ji.

Surrender means unconditional support for any government affairs proposed by Kou Ji.

It is equivalent to unconditionally supporting Zhao Zhen to implement any innovation in government affairs.

Kou Ji heard Zhao Zhen's words, and pouted: "There are few stupid people who can appear in the court. Occasionally, one or two of them are stupid, mostly calculated. Or maybe it has some other purpose.

For example, Fan Wei provoked the relationship between our monarchs and ministers in the court before, just to test us.

He wanted to see if there was a rift between our kings and ministers.

If there is a rift, he will join forces with others to move to me and cut off the official's arm, so as to suppress the military ministers and restore the situation of the civil ministers in charge of the court. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "I know about this matter, what kind of party he got behind his back, on the surface, it is a group of people who study poetry and songs, but in fact, it is a group of people with ill intentions who get together to plan the court.

Someone went to take his head in order to curry favor with you, but he was stopped by his henchmen.

I have sent someone to keep an eye on them, and if they dare to make any moves, I will take them away. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Chong Shiheng is too smart......"

Kou Ji sighed and said, "If the court is full of stupid people, you won't be so easy. Besides, he can see it clearly, not because of his wisdom, but because of the wisdom of the people behind him. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Chong Shiheng asked me to surrender before, I thought it was a simple surrender. But when I sent someone to investigate, I found out that he had gone to see his uncle before he asked me to surrender. ”

Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Is the Great Confucian seed released?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Such a great sage, why do you want to seek the Tao wholeheartedly? ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Everyone has their own ambitions......"

Speaking of which, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen didn't say much.

Zhao Zhen drove to the Shishitang, and Kou Ji rushed to Han Meiren's dormitory alone.

After Kou Ji arrived at Han Meiren's dormitory, he saw Chen Lin leading people to guard in front of Han Meiren's dormitory.

After seeing Kou Ji, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is the official family?" ”

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "The official family is fine......

Chen Lin let out a sigh and said, "That's good......"

Although Chen Lin was guarding at the door of Han Meiren's dormitory.

But he was always paying attention to Zhao Zhen's movements.

After Zhao Zhen locked himself in the dormitory, Chen Lin was very worried.

After Zhao Zhen was forced out by the Manchu Dynasty, Chen Lin was even more worried.

No one knows Zhao Zhen better than him.

He knew how pitiful Zhao Zhen was, and he also knew how painful Zhao Zhen was in his heart.

After Chen Lin knew that Zhao Zhen was fine, his heart also let go, he seemed to remember something, stared at Kou Ji and asked: "The official family sent someone to spread the word this morning, saying that it was for our family to replace Xiao Linzi beside him, do you know what Xiao Linzi did to anger the official family?" ”
